And in the process we'll soon forget how to do the most simplistic tasks for our own survival.
Ask any kid, heck ask anyone under the age of 25 how to start a fire without matches.
Ask them how and where would they find shelter if they were in the wild.
Ask them where they will get food from if they were starving.

Most people, not just children, have given up learned knowledge and traits for instant online gratification. If they can't look up an answer online or "google" instructions for building a shelter, finding food or even basic first aid they could not be interested.

I joke about it with my friends and family that if we ever lost power for all our "toys" they would be completely lost.
